(And by the way, I will never been that courageous for make me a tatoo. Good luck with that one. I hope you don't finish like Max in the Full Throttle Comic =P)
For those who can't see the second image, it looks like this:
Icedhope, you are a bold man. I don't have the chutzpah to get anything more permanent than a henna tattoo. But -- if it were me, I would go with the first one. Sam & Max are actually interacting with each other there, which I see as a huge plus. The fact that I'd feel less like a walking advertisement with that image doesn't hurt either, but that might just be me.
But are you allowed to get a tattoo of something that's copyrighted? I remember a friend had to create a modified version of the image she liked because she couldn't have it as a tattoo due to it being copyrighted. The tattoo artist wouldn't do it.

Actually, I don't think their is a law about beacause tattoo's are art but they're not Plagerism if that makes sense, because they aren't being displayed for money, or they're not being used to make money so I don't they're is a problem with it, people I know have the ghostbusters logo, just like it is on the movie but then again I think it's the artists decision too.

Small comment: copyright law doesn't care at all if you're making money out of it or not. Fair use usually includes fanart, though, and I guess that could probably apply in some weird way. And I don't think Purcell is likely to sue you anyways.
Just out of curiosity, where you planing to get it? Oh yeah and pics when you're done, k?
On my Upper Arm, and of course there will be pics. I'm planning on getting it done, thursday but Budgets come into mind, so we will see if it's this month or Next month.
Yeah, as I said it's not risky. I was just a bit surprised because as I said the tattoo artist wouldn't do it for my friend so I assumed they all refused to protect their backs.
And it's still good to know, because some other people might sue. And lots of people misunderstand copyright law. There are still people thinking it's okay to use music if it's under 30s. It's not. It's still illegal without permission, length has nothing to do with that, and the fact that you're not making profit has nothing to do with that either.
Tatoos are ok if you're doing em for sentimental reasons, eg if a relative dies and you tatoo their name or something along those lines, but I can't see why you would want Sam and Max tatooed on your arm.
Maybe just buy a poster? Strikes me as something less stupid.
Sam and Max are cool, but you'd have to be mentally retarted to have one permately on your arm.

It's usually best to get the artist's permission before getting ink, even if it just out of courtesy. I'd also say that the second would make a better tattoo, particularly with the shading, be sure to go to a reputable tattoo artist also.

That is true, now I need to find someway to get Steve Purcells permission to get a tattoo

Post a comment in his blog. He read all those comments. Really. (Now, if he will answer you? No idea. But he will read it =P)
Edit: Or wait when he show up in the Police Dispatch forum. But post in the blog anyway!
